  • The problem is that it fundamentally makes them a political org to choose one side over the other.

    And the US Government has made it clear that they don’t consider a violent insurrection to be treason.

    No they didn’t. They prosecuted a LOT of people for that.

    So why should facebook go to bat and make themselves an even bigger target come January?

    That’s the reason. Fuck Facebook’s own rules, they are trying to mitigate an attack by a fascist dictator.







  • It’s not that simple. If it was the American military wouldn’t be effective because manpads, javelins, and torpedos would have taken out all the aircraft, tanks and ships.

    The military is a fighting unit and protects itself very well. At least, it does it it’s working right. When you have a military being destroyed by a vault interior opponent, it’s because they are fucking to their military…or someone is trying to occupy Afghanistan.

    Like the other person said: who could sanction the US? Without us military presence China and Russia could bully the rest of the world. What’s happening in Ukraine and the South China Sea but in overdrive.

    Tanking the us economy means the us might get desperate and the US really only has one lever that works on everyone: force.


  • It makes sense that elected officials can’t be banned from serving for crimes, excepting ones like treason and other major ones. Otherwise it would be far too easy for a party in power to simply charge, arrest and convict people over more minor crimes to prevent representation. Also why congress people can’t be arrested, excepting felonies, on their way to Congress. It’d be too easy to stop government by simply arresting people frivolously.

    But the counter for Trump is already in the Constitution: a speedy trial. Fucker should be in prison already and prevented (via 14th) from being elected.
